Been working on this for a few months. ELI6 Movies is a full-stack streaming webapp:

• Frontend: vanilla JS + CSS on Vercel (no framework, no build step)
• Backend: Node.js + Express + MongoDB on Render
• Auth: JWT with per-device session revocation
• Email: password reset + verification via Resend (native fetch, zero new deps)
• Analytics: custom dashboard — page views, geo, devices, live sessions
• No ads, no paywall, no account needed to browse
